We now have over 3200 rds through the range R18 MK2 at TSE and over 1200 rds through the one at Target Sports (they have been closed a lot)
We know this as we pulled all of the other .223/5.56 rifles off the rental line when we put the R18 out, so we can clearly track every round that has gone through it.
We have had 5 reported light strikes and the quad rail needs to be tightened every now and again. But we have found that as long as we snug it after cleaning, it stays tight till the next cleaning. The team at Target managed to also shear the guide rods; but this is a known issue that has been slated to be upgraded in the next batch.
We are going to pull this rifle and put a new one on the line as "as a sample of two" is hardly sound science (unless we're talking about covid).
So far so good!
